Previously, the story was posted on the website in the framework of the contest "Bloody Razkolbas".

- Dimon, today is October 23! Sunday! Output! - Kostya said, brushing his jeans off pieces of human flesh.
“I am so glad that I am now happy with happiness!” When did you last work?
- Yes, behold, 3 weeks ago, in early October, he worked.
- Do not have time to relax something?
- No, you know, somehow it was not possible. All once, and I sleep badly. All sorts of thoughts in my head foolish climb.
- Strange. It seems the weather is good, the economic situation returned to normal. There is no money, and there will not be. So live and rejoice! - Dima helped move the rack to the front glass door of the store, in which he and his friend had been living for 3 weeks. Opposite them, in front of the shoe department, four zombies were crowding at once, pushing, trying to get through the same glass door into the store, where they hid, or rather lived, about a dozen Asians, who had previously worked at the mall as cleaners and porters.

But first things first. In the last days of September 2016, the largest terrorist organization conducted a series of acts of horror in its design and scope. Unknown scientists invented the strongest virus, which made the affected people and animals literally rot in wild agony in a matter of hours. After the defeat, the brain of living beings quickly died off and functioned for another 5-7 days, allowing the body to perform only simple actions, such as wiggling with limbs, walking and eating.

In the unrestrained appetite it was precisely the main danger of people and animals rotting alive. The affected organisms tried to get enough of others, who have not yet been touched by a terrible virus. Contrary to the numerous films about zombies that flooded the world cinema, the real rotting dead needed not the brain of living beings, but their flesh and blood.
These unfortunates also did not move as imagined by science fiction writers. They could not reach speeds faster than 5-6 kilometers per hour, because their muscles and musculoskeletal system quickly deteriorated and decomposed. Since the bodies of the zombies, their joints and muscles were injured from constant blows and falls, they seemed very awkward when moving, although they were very persistent in trying to get to the prey. They presented the danger to unaffected people with the tenacity of their hands and fingers, since they were injured less than others. When an infected substance enters an open wound or scratch, the blood in a matter of seconds spread the virus throughout the living organism, infecting it. And one bite of such a zombie turned one hundred percent into a potential walking corpse.
In the first hours, the brain of the defeated was well thought out, and the person could clearly explain, but the decomposing flesh caused terrible tortures and people simply put their hands on themselves in order to avoid wild pain.

The actions of the terrorist organization were as follows: by means of their fanatics, by bribing and blackmailing ordinary people, by substituting drugs, under the guise of vaccination and conventional drugs, a terrible potion was simultaneously injected into tens and hundreds of thousands of people in the world. For the greatest mass and simultaneous infection, the actions of the terrorists were carefully synchronized. At the same time, in 25 countries in North and South America, Europe, Asia and even Australia, explosions sounded at airports and squares that caused an unprecedented panic. It was used by terrorists for their own purposes. Many of them simply walked in the crowd and injected with syringes creepy viruses of the body of people who did not understand anything. And after a couple of tens of minutes, when infected people began to scratch and bite those who tried to help them, the disease began to spread exponentially.

When people understood the whole scale of the horror that was happening, they, in a panic, throwing their property and values, tried to leave or fly away from the largest epicenters of infection. But by this, they only spread the infection all over the world. All mankind did not have an understanding of which zones, cities and territories are free from the virus and where it can be saved. On the Internet and social networks, there was also no useful and constructive information that could help a rational approach to the global problem. The elite of all countries flew to the islands, taking their relatives with them, and specially, with the help of the security forces, destroyed airports, railways and ports in order to get rid of other immigrants, while initially they did not even think about food replenishment.

The world was not ready for events of this kind and scale. Uninfected people came to understand that they had only a few months or even weeks to live. Therefore, waves of violence swept across all countries and continents. People fucked furiously, used alcohol and drugs, trying to spend their last days on Earth with one hundred percent return.
Survivors more cold-blooded and intelligent people tried to find a way out of this situation. But the conditions of their existence were terrible. People died relatives and friends, they felt the lack of water and food, and the activities of terrorists, too, made itself felt. Law enforcement agencies, the army and special services around the world also secured themselves, their relatives and major politicians, who also didn’t care about ordinary citizens. In the actions of people there was no unity and integrity, the worst qualities of people and their character traits were revealed, each was for itself.
In Russia, the brunt of the terrorists fell, of course, on Moscow. On the first day and at the time of infection, two friends, Kostya and Dima, culturally rested in the food court of the Asian shopping center. They brought a bottle of "Green Label" with a volume of 0, 7 liters and poured it into plastic cups, which they begged in the nearest fast food. Drink and snack were also with you. In order not to attract too much attention to themselves, they sat down in the farthest part of a huge footcount with a bunch of tables and chairs, behind which people around them were simultaneously absorbing pounds of food.
Apparently, one of the accomplices of the terrorists managed to poison the devices with sparkling water in the surrounding restaurants. Therefore, several people became ill at once when they took their first sips from the glasses. They, like the others, did not immediately understand what had happened, so they did not rush to see a doctor. One of the first victims was a long-haired girl of about twenty, who Kostya quickly laid eyes on, winking violently at her. She answered him in return, sexually licking the tube in her glass.

The young man did not suspect that after some ten minutes, the girl would jump up from her seat, scream wildly and begin to roll on the floor shouting "Help!" while sprinkling foam from the mouth on the frightened surrounding.
- That's what it means, with women out of luck! Either a pregnant woman is caught, a bitch, or some kind of rabies! - Dima commented on the unfortunateness of his friend on the love front, when they watched with horror as several people tried to help the girl by pinning her to the floor, while she was biting and scratching them with all her might.
Then friends saw this girl wandering around the shopping center for a few more days. Half-naked and half-decomposed, she quickly ceased to cause disgust in the shocked guys. But Dima, being a cheerful and slightly frozen guy, every time loved to pin up a friend:
- Look, and your fucking gone again! Look, yes, and her second tit already fell off! - Later, the girl still finally rotted and thrown out of the window into the street, like hundreds of other zombies.

After a couple dozen of infected people started yelling, howling, biting and rushing at people in the food court, the guys realized that for some kind of flash mob, or filming with a hidden camera for TV, this is an obvious search. Then they hurried to hide in one of the nearest shops, which turned out to be some kind of network ...
